An intriguing and satisfying depth of flavor with organic chicken sausage, sauteed mushrooms, and fresh sage, topped with tahini!

 1 cup uncooked cooked quinoa
 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
 2 links organic chicken sausage, chopped
 8 oz organic white mushrooms, diced
 8 leaves fresh sage
 2 tbsp tahini
1

Prepare quinoa according to package directions. (I soak mine for 6-12 hours prior to cooking to remove phytates and increase nutrient availability.) After cooking, keep covered and let sit to 5-10 minutes. Then uncover and rake gently with a fork.

2

Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp olive oil and saute mushrooms until tender and juices are released. Remove from pan and set aside.

3

Saute sausage until browned. Remove from pan, add to mushrooms mixture, and add sage.

4

Combine mushrooms, sausage, and sage mixture with quinoa. Add salt and pepper to taste.
To serve, scoop onto plates and top with a drizzle of tahini!
*I enjoy using The Crescent Olive's Mushroom Sage olive oil for this recipe!*
